The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Friday in Abuja urged the Federal Government to fulfil its promise on job creation and youths employment in the country.
The NLC General Secretary, Dr Peter
Ozo-Eson, made the appeal in a statement he issued in commemoration of the 2016
International Youth Day.
Ozo-Eson said as the NLC felicitates
with Nigeria youths and the world on the commemoration of the 2016
International Youth Day, it was imperative for the Federal Government to fulfil
its promise to them.
He said it had become particularly
significant because the 2016 celebration was focused on the leading role of
young people and ensuring poverty eradication and achieving sustainable
development.
The NLC scribe said the celebration
would also promote ways to engage youths in becoming more actively involved in
making positive contributions to their communities.
“The congress is committed to the
issues of youth empowerment because only then can we guarantee the future of
our nation and the sustainability of the labour movement.
“This is also in line with the United
Nations 2016 theme which is “The Road to 2030: Eradicating Poverty and
Achieving Sustainable Consumption and Production’’.
